Job description

Physicist – Defence Sector Engineering – Cambridge

A growing defence company based in Cambridge is offering an exciting opportunity for a Physicist to work on a wide range of cutting-edge technologies aimed at enhancing the UK's defence capabilities, focusing on defensive rather than offensive technologies.

You will be involved in various physics projects, including (but not limited to) thermal, optics, electromagnetics, acoustics, fluidics, and chemical technologies. Candidates with experience in these areas are encouraged to detail their relevant experience on their CV.

While we are open to candidates from various sectors, prior experience in the defence sector will be highly advantageous.

As this role involves working within the defence sector, candidates must be able to obtain or already hold security clearance.

An interest in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is desirable, as many projects will involve these fields.

The successful candidate will receive an excellent starting salary, commensurate with experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package including a bonus, enhanced pension, dental care, gym access, free lunch, and other perks.

We welcome applicants across a range of experience levels, from PhD holders with postdoctoral experience to seasoned industry professionals. The company values growth and development, offering opportunities for early-career individuals to develop and for experienced professionals to mentor junior team members.

The company emphasizes collaboration within teams, across departments, and with external partners.

Due to high interest in this role and the company's need to recruit quickly, we recommend applying immediately if interested to avoid missing out.

For more information, please contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices Recruitment, and Scientific Recruitment Specialists Newton Colmore, at 0121 268 2240. To apply, submit your CV; a team member from Newton Colmore will contact you. Note that detailed role discussions will only be possible after reviewing your CV.
